I know that id ports it's games to Linux so you can get Quake 3 and Doom 3 for Linux. No idea about other companies.

If you meant games other than the above then you could always try OpenArena and stuff that comes with its repos. But most famous games except the recently released one works with either Wine, Cedega or Crossver Office.
